Aiming towards Accessibility of Geodata
2
Overview
1. INSPIRE
2. Accessibility of Geodata a pan-European Matter
3. Examples on European and national level: Plan4all, Geoland.at, OSM…
4. Use Cases: What can we do with Linked Geodata?

CEIT Alanovaa short introduction
CEIT = Central European Institute of Technology
• founded in 2006; applied research institute; non profit organization
• owned by the City of Schwechat (the Airport City of Vienna Airport)
• Alanova – Institute of Urbanism, Transport, Environment and Information Society
• Sister Institute: Raltec – Ambient Assisitive Living (AAL)

Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community
INSPIRE Directive
•Entered into force in 2007•Transposed to national laws •Referring to already existing SDIs and data
•Supports integrated European environmental policy•Effects on geodata coming from public administration and •Geoinformation Community in Europe in general
SDI definition (INSPIRE Directive, 2007) “…metadata, spatial data sets and services, network services and technologies;Agreements on sharing, access and use;Coordination and monitoring mechanism, process and procedures, established, operated or made available in accordance with this directive…”

INSPIRE Directive
Implementing Rules focusing on1. Metadata 2. Data Specifications3. Network Services4. Data and Service Sharing5. Monitoring and Reporting
IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION:Version 2 of data specifications for themes from Annex II and III of the INSPIRE Directive is ready for public consultation and testing since June 2011.

Annex III•Statistical units•Buildings•Soil•Land use•Human health and safety•Utility and Government services•Environmental monitoring facilities•Production and industrial facilities•Agricultural and aquaculture facilities•Population distribution – demography•Area management/restriction/regulation zones and reporting units•Natural risk zones•Atmospheric conditions•Meteorological geographical features•Oceanographic geographical features•Sea regions•Bio-geographical regions•Habitats and biotopes•Species distribution •Energy resources•Mineral resources
Annex I•Coordinate reference system•Geographical grid systems•Geographical names•Administrative units•Addresses•Cadastral parcels •Transport networks •Hydrography•Protected sites
•Annex II•Elevation•Land cover•Orthoimagery•Geology
INSPIRE – 34 spatial data themes

USE CASES
Data Accessibility – great potentials and benefits for planners and developers
Mobility Pass for Real Estates
Web-based City Maps for Blind and Visually Impaired
15
USE CASES 1: Mobility Pass for Real Estate
My place of residence or operation – what does it cost me?
Relationship between the selection of the location and the mobility behavior,
Calculated mid- and long-term costs in terms of time, mobility costs, CO2
emissions and possible accident risk.
16
USE CASES 1: Mobility Pass for Real Estate
Modeling mobility patterns and lifestyles; measuring costs and CO2 emissions
Save costs, strengthen mobility behavior; reduce environmental impact
Service for user (buyer/tenants) and real estate agents
17
USE CASE 2: Web-based Maps for Blind
Data Source: OSM
Automatic generation of a semantic spatial description
18
USE CASE 2: Web-based Maps for Blind
Data Source: OSM
First prototype of textual description (Map in Words) with visual interface
19
USE CASES
Long list of required geographic data1. Points of Interest according to the street side 2. medical facilities3. public buildings4. restaurants5. sports and leisure6. education7. transportation8. shops9. culture10.Tactile systems, acoustic traffic lights11.Construction sites12.Water network13.Streets 14.Cycle lanes15.Statistical data16. ...
